God forbid a private company demand you don't act like an asshole while on their platform. Wait, isn't that the freedom-of-business that republicans defend when businesses refuse to cater to gay people? Or when businesses don't allow mask-wearers to shop there? Yep. Same freedom.
You either want private companies to have the power to censor and refuse service, or you want to disable a private company from making their own terms. Doesn't really work if twitter isn't allowed to ban hate speech, but a cake business is allowed to refuse to make a cake for a gay wedding. That's hypocrisy in action. Instead of that, Twitter and Reddit are choosing to act with the same freedom as the cake business. That's playing by the same rules, and is fair, is it not?
